[Solved]-Dynamically filter ListView CBV in Django 1.7

✅

First of all you need to change your urls.py so that it’ll pass the experience as a parameter. Something like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^(?P<exp>[ASG])$', ScholarshipDirectoryView.as_view(), name='scholarship_directory'),
)

(the above will return 404 if /A or /S or /G is not passed)

Now, in kwargs attribute of the CBV we will have a kwarg named exp which can be used by the get_queryset method to filter by experience level.

class ScholarshipDirectoryView(ListView):
    model = Scholarship
    template_name = 'scholarship-directory.html'

    def get_queryset(self):
        qs = super(ScholarshipDirectoryView, self).get_queryset()
        return qs.filter(experience_level__exact=self.kwargs['exp'])
